Too Busy?


If you think you're too busy to scrapbook, think again!  While scrapbooking is a fun hobby, it not only documents your life, its a treasure to pass on to future generations.  Wouldn't you love to know more about your grandparents' day-to-day lives back when they were growing up? Or when they got married & started your family?  Wouldn't you love to know what they did for fun or vacation?  How they lived, who they loved, what times were like when they were young?  Well your kids and their kids want that from you, and you can give that to them!  Imagine if your grandparents actually took the time to document their lives in a book, the good & the bad, and imagine you owned that book - wouldn't that be one of your most treasured possessions?

In order to be rounded & fulfilled humans, we must take the time to slow down and do something that brings joy & happiness to our lives...scrapbooking lets that happen over and over again.  While you're creating that album you are reminiscing and re-living those moments you captured.  Then when you pull out that album to share with your family & friends, you are re-living it again and bringing joy to those you are sharing it with! 


I read recently somewhere that memories are valuable possessions and capturing your life experience on paper allows precious moments to be taken out to re-live again and again. An album is a glimpse into a moment, a life and a family.


So even though you are very busy, please take the time to document your life - for yourself, for your children and for future generations!  And a tip, if you're in a hurry try PicFolio Slide In sleeves albums or for more fun and creativity try digital scrapbooking with StoryBook Creator Plus, either way you will have a completed album in no time!


Take the time to record and preserve your memories...your family will love you for it!
